"THERE'S not a lot to do around here on Ash Wednesday," says John O'Flynn, eminent butcher of O'Flynn's, of Cork city. "So we decided to make some new sausages. "We played around, and came up with these curry lamb sausages.
Given that you may well be abstaining from meat for the Lenten period, the new bangers from the brothers O'Flynn are something to look forward to when you can call a halt to your fasting. Perfectly made, with a subtle spicyness, these are superb with some Puy lentils, and great for a big fry-up late on Sunday morning.
The other great new invention from the brothers is a pork and pineapple banger which our two-year-old demolishes with gusto, and they are welcome additions to a fine range which includes spicy lamb, beef, and venison.
